Abstract

The production of stereoscopic contents using a stereoscopic camera requires a formidable task. To solve this problem, a technique such as 2D-to-3D conversion has recently gained much interest in academic and commercial fields. As one of such activities, this paper presents a novel approach of generating stereoscopic navigation video from a single picture for TIP (Tour Into Picture). Unlike existing TIP methods providing 2D image or video, our proposed method delivers users with 3-D stereoscopic contents. The method firstly makes input data being composed of foreground masks, a background image, and depth maps. The second step is to navigate the picture and to obtain rendered images by either orthographic or perspective projection. A virtual camera is moved around the picture with the viewing position and angle being freely controlled. Furthermore depth enhancement using Laws texture filter is applied to foreground objects in order to reduce a cardboard effect. In experiments, the proposed method was tested on two traditional paintings "Danopungjun" and "Muyigido" made in Chosun Dynasty. We have obtained a variety of stereoscopic animated videos which demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
